Outrageous! After kicking out the ex, she immediately became the aunt-in-law

Seeing her shocked expression, Lu Yueci continued, "I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I heard that Miss Shen has always been attracted to Mr. Chi, and the Shen family is also interested in promoting a relationship between the two."

"In the past two years, Madam Shen has been visiting the Chi family frequently, hoping that Mr. Chi's mother would agree to this marriage."

"Did Mrs. Chi agree?" Li Siwei asked.

After looking at her deeply, Lu Yueci smiled and said, "Didn't I just tell you that the deal hasn't been concluded yet?"

“Oh, hehe…”

Li Siwei smiled awkwardly, she was too concerned and confused.

"Although we haven't reached an agreement yet, in the future..."

The smile on her lips faded slightly, and Lu Yueci put down the ice pack in her hand and looked up at her. "It's said in the circle that since Mr. Chi stayed in Country M to establish HL, this Miss Shen also followed him all the way to Country M. The two of them supported each other abroad and had a deep relationship, so much so that..."

"So much so?" Li Siwei's expression was a little stiff.

"Nothing much." Lu Yueci smiled. "It's just that they are a perfect match, with good looks and similar family backgrounds. And this Miss Shen must have been favored by the Chi family, which is why she has no status and has been accompanying him in Country M for five years."

Seeing that the smile on Li Siwei's lips could no longer be maintained, Lu Yueci shook her head helplessly and changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"The Shen family's desire to form an alliance with the Chi family didn't actually start with the Shen family's generation."

After a brief pause, seeing that Li Siwei had returned her attention to the conversation, Lu Yueci continued, "The Shen family originally wanted Shen Guodong to marry Chi Manning."

Li Siwei blinked in surprise: "Are they Shen Xinkui's stepfather and Aunt Chi?"

"Yes." Lu Yueci nodded, "This matter needs to be told from the beginning."

"I just said the Shen family is special because they didn't start their business, but all of them are involved in politics. Especially Mr. Shen, who was a powerful figure in his time and had many disciples."

"Even without relying on business, the Shen family has always been one of the four major families in northern Beijing. Although not outstanding, no one can shake its position. And all these changes can be traced back to the turmoil decades ago..."

"At that time, Mr. Shen was framed and forced to go to a remote area for reform, where he lived a very difficult life."

"In order to protect the younger generations of the Shen family and their collateral relatives from being implicated, he voluntarily donated 90% of the Shen family's assets and ancestral home. This allowed the young Shen Guodong to continue to stay in Jingbei."

"After the unrest ended, Mr. Shen was reinstated and returned to Beijing North. He brought his wife and children and lived in the small courtyard allocated by his work unit."

"Originally, according to Mr. Shen's plan, even if the Shen family lost almost all of their wealth and ancestral home, as long as Shen Guodong was obedient and continued to follow the path he arranged, he could still hold a high position of power and protect the Shen family in a few decades."

"If I marry Chi Manning into the Chi family, I'll have a chance to slowly gather my scattered wealth. It's a pity..."

Lu Yueci shook her head. "This Shen Guodong is so arrogant. He thinks the Shen family is living in a small courtyard at the company and has squandered all their wealth. They are still unworthy of being one of the 'Four Great Families of Beijing North'."

"So, he resigned from the position that Mr. Shen had arranged for him, resolutely went into business, and went to Hong Kong City alone."

"Because Mr. Shen only had one son, Shen Guodong, his departure infuriated Mr. Shen and almost severed the father-son relationship. It wasn't until the Shen family's eldest grandson, Shen Jinxing, was born and Shen Guodong returned to Jingbei with his wife and children that the relationship began to ease again."

"I remember hearing from my father and eldest brother that Guoyu Group belongs to the Shen family, right?" Li Siwei frowned slightly. "It seems that the head of the Shen family is quite good at business."

Shaking her head again, Lu Yueci smiled faintly, "Shen Guodong's business ability can only be considered above average at best."

"Above average?" Li Siwei raised an eyebrow. "Then this Guoyu Group..."

"It all depends on the late Madam Shen."

Lu Yueci sighed, "Shen Guodong went to Hong Kong alone to make a living. If he hadn't met Madam Shen, He Yushan, he would have never made a name for himself in that place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money even if he had stayed there for ten years."

"He Yushan? He..." Li Siwei suddenly opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Is it the He family, the richest family in Hong Kong?"

"Yes." Lu Yueci nodded. "The He family is a native of Hong Kong. They have been engaged in business for generations, and their business is spread all over the world. Whether it is ability, assets or connections, they are firmly in the top position in Hong Kong."

"When Shen Guodong was young, he was quite good-looking. Somehow he caught the eye of He Yushan, the eldest daughter of the He family. It took less than a year for them to go from confirming their relationship to falling in love and getting married."

"Afterwards, Shen Guodong, with the help of He Yushan and the He family, registered and founded the Guoyu Group in Hong Kong."

"'Guoyu' is a homophone of 'Guo' and 'Yu' in their names."

Li Siwei frowned: "Then how did Madam Shen die?"

"Are you sick? Who would know?" Li Siwei was a little confused by the expression on Lu Yueci's face.

Pulling the corner of her mouth, Lu Yueci continued, "I don't know much about what happened afterwards. Anyway, after the second son of the Shen family was born, Madam Shen's health began to deteriorate rapidly. She persisted for about ten years, and she passed away when the second son was about eleven or twelve years old."

"Then, within less than half a year, Shen Guodong married his second wife."

"Half a year? So fast!" Li Siwei couldn't help but look a little strange. "Then this second Madam Shen must be someone quite important, for the head of the Shen family to be so eager to welcome her in."

"Well, it's not small." Lu Yueci smiled, "She was Shen Guodong's former secretary."

"Shen Guodong loved Zhao Lingzi so much that he not only married her but also brought her daughter from her previous marriage, the Miss Shen I just mentioned, into the Shen family."

Li Siwei: “……!!!”

Are you so generous? ! ! !

Is this the legendary "pure love"? ! ! !

However, this time interval is too... uh...

Pursing her lips, Li Siwei shook her head speechlessly, "So what's next? Will the couple be deeply in love, and the father be kind and the son be filial?"

"I don't know whether the love is deep or not, or whether the son is filial or not."

Lu Yueci smiled and said, "All I know is that after Zhao Lingzi came into the family, Mr. Shen passed away. Then, Mrs. Shen moved out of the Shen family, saying that seeing things reminded her of him. It seems that she went to a Taoist temple on the hill in the suburbs to practice asceticism."

"Ah?——" Li Siwei opened her mouth in surprise, "Is there something fishy going on here?"

"Whether there is something fishy or not, it has nothing to do with us."

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Lu Yueci put away the ice pack and covered her ankle with a blanket with a loving smile. "Okay, that's enough time for the ice pack. You should go to bed early too."

"Mom—" Li Siying obviously hadn't heard enough.

But Lu Yueci shook her head and refused directly, "Sleep——"

"The doctor told you to rest more and recuperate. No bargaining allowed."

After saying that, he left the room without caring about Li Siying's coquettish behavior.

Looking at the door that closed again, Li Siwei lay dejectedly on the bed, rubbing her head against the pillow in annoyance.

Shen Xinkui...

sunflower……

Suddenly remembering something, Li Siwei immediately raised her wrist.

Sunflowers, strung with thin chains, spun in circles, gleaming with tiny, dazzling lights against the backdrop of the roof lights...
